Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl declared “brain dead” after tonsil surgery, was discharged from an Oakland hospital late Sunday night.

The Los Angeles Times reports that McMath left under her family’s care after a coroner had certified her death on Friday, Dec. 12. A statement from the hospital wished the McMath family “closure and peace.”

The family’s attorney dismissed the death certificate. “They are going to care for her, respect her and love her,” he told the AP, “and they’re going to call her Jahi, not `the body.'”

The McMath family protested the hospital’s recommendation to unplug her ventilator after doctors found an irreversible cessation of all brain activity.

When is this going to become child abuse or abuse of a disable person? How can loving parents, no matter how "devote" they say they are put their child through this kind of horrendous non-living state?

One has to wonder who will fund Jahi's ongoing life support and at what cost and what will happen in 3 months time when the family have yet to see Jahi come back to life? Will they continue their plight, ask for more donations and for how long will those donations continue to come and how does one in the end exactly measure the merits of one's faith in the face of logic and absurdity......?
